"My son wanted to go to the county government office to play drums and complain about his injustice to save his father, but he was stopped by Aunt Yan. Even an outsider was so considerate of me, and mother..."

Deng Bizhong looked depressed. He lowered his head and was so choked that he could hardly speak.

"And what about mother? She knew clearly that her son was determined to take the imperial examination, and she even put his father in jail. Although the son's household registration is not in his parents' names, if anyone finds out, his life will be ruined. , the impact on career will be small. If something happens to dad, my son will still take the imperial examination. Dad, let’s sell the shop and go far away. If you are here, I’m afraid mom will still hurt you——

My mother was so stupid that she listened to her grandmother and uncle's persuasion. If they wanted to kill her father, her mother would hand over the knife without hesitation. "Dad, let's go. My son really can't afford the gamble." "Deng Bizhong burst into tears.

"Zhong'er, one can't always choose to escape. Dad has always been soft-hearted and unwilling to be cruel to your mother and your maternal family, which is why we ended up where we are today. If father had been cruel to them, they wouldn't have dared to be so unscrupulous. , you are right, your uncle will kill dad sooner or later, and your mother is really stupid. If she were not stupid, how could she have been married to dad for so many years, and she still had no idea to help her mother's family. Dad dared to pat his chest and say , Dad has helped your maternal family enough, but your mother is still not satisfied, that’s all, the fate of husband and wife has ended.

For your sake, Dad tolerated them again and again. From now on, Dad will not be soft-hearted to them anymore. Don't worry about this matter. Dad has his own way. You can go back to the academy early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, your mother will come looking for you, and it will be difficult for you to get away, and you will be in trouble. When you come back during the Chinese New Year, your father will have bought a good house by then, and it will be inconvenient to always stay at your Aunt Yan's house. "

Deng Qiuzhi's eyes drifted toward the window.

I don't know what he was thinking.

The father and son chatted for a long time, until Deng Qiuzhi's eyes were too tired to open, and Deng Bizhong left the house. He turned back three times every step, and his father asked him to leave early tomorrow morning. The next time they see each other, it will be the Chinese New Year.

After he returned to Yan Xia's house, he hid in the house and opened a book to read. The county examination would be held in February next year, and he could not let his father down.

Grief and anger are transformed into motivation.

At dinner in the evening, he took a few quick bites of food and then went back to the house to read.

Yan Xia was a little puzzled, but didn't ask any more questions.

Because she has something big to do tonight.

This time I spent too much money to save Brother Deng.

It was enough for her to buy a house in Jiangnan County.

Previously, she had no other way to bribe Mrs. Xu with silver coins and jewelry, so she resorted to this trick. But the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. Why should she spend her hard-earned money in vain on corrupt officials?

Moreover, the original owner’s ex-husband is also the brother-in-law of a corrupt official.

Sure enough, all the bad guys gathered together in one family.

Yan Xia plans to go to Xu Mansion to search at night.

While waiting, the heat subsided and everything fell into tranquility.

When the moon was dark and the wind was high, Yan Xia changed into a dark-colored top and trousers, her hair was tied high and tightly with a black cloth, and she also wore a black mask on her face, with only her eyes exposed.

Looking through the faint moonlight, he looked like a weak man.

Yan Xia ducked into the space. Xu Mansion was not far from her house.

Just enough distance for the space to flash.

Having gone to Xu Mansion twice, she had probably figured out the road conditions.

In just one second, Yan Xia, who was originally in his own house, appeared in the main room of Mrs. Xu in the Xu Mansion.

On the right side of the main room is where Mrs. Xu sleeps, and on the left side is a place for people to take a rest. Inside are a mahogany Duobao grid and a beauty couch. On the couch, a maid is lying on it and moaning loudly. sleep.

Yan Xia quietly walked into the room on the right.

Through the moonlight, one can see the jewelry box, makeup box, and comb placed on the ebony table.

Without exception, they are all inlaid with jade and agate, which is extremely luxurious.

Yan Xia didn't think about it and put the jewelry box directly into the space without opening it. She didn't prepare to incense this time, so she didn't dare to move too much. The jewelry box was made of wood after all. There would be a sound when it was opened. It would be bad for the two people in the waking room.

As for the makeup box and comb, they were filled with rouge, gouache and things for combing hair, which were not worth much. She didn't take it.

After putting away the jewelry box, she looked around again.

There was nothing in the house except a long ebony waist table, a round-corner cabinet with double blessings and birthday wishes, and nanmu hangers for clothes.

Mrs. Xu's sleeping face can be clearly seen through the thin single-layer bed curtain.

Yan Xia saw that there were no valuable items in the room and slipped into the space.

As for the ornaments placed on the left side of the Duobao grid, she was not interested in them. They were just some corals and vases. Although they were expensive, they were too big for the purpose and were not suitable for use or sale. They could easily lead to trouble.

After all, there are many people who come to Mrs. Xu's main room as guests.

They must be very familiar with the ornaments.

Then, Yan Xia flashed into the space and searched other rooms.

Some rooms were uninhabited, with nothing but empty furniture. I went through four rooms in a row before arriving at a very luxurious bedroom.

It doesn't look like it lives with a man.

Could it be...

Yan Xia quietly walked to the bed, where Xu Wenshan and the original owner's ex-husband were sleeping on the bed.

The two of them hugged each other, and it was not too hot even in the summer.

Yan Xia curled her lips.

Looking around the house.

After also taking away a huanghuali wood and copper double-buckle jewelry box, she stared at a box.

It is a red lacquered and gold-painted official leather suitcase, with a handle ring on each side, similar to a modern suitcase.

I heard that Xu Wenshan came from the border area, which is rich in jade materials and fine brocade. Thinking of this, Yan Xia's eyes were as bright as cat's eyes in the dark room. She stepped forward and touched the box. The box was tied with a small iron lock. It requires a key to open it, but she can actually force it open, but it will wake up the people in the house.

Yan Xia simply threw the entire official suitcase into the space.

"Hmm~" Xu Wenshan suddenly turned over on the bed and hummed softly.

Yan Xia was so frightened that her hair stood on end. She didn't dare to move. She didn't dare to stay any longer, so she slipped into the space and went to the next room.

This room is relatively large, and the furnishings are not as rich and gorgeous as Xu Wenshan's room. It is relatively simple, but it reveals something extraordinary. The objects on the table are all worth thousands of gold. Even the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are works by famous artists. If To describe it in one word, it is elegant.

It seems that this room is Xu Wenyan's room.

Walking to the table beside the bed, Yan Xiagang wanted to reach out and fiddle with it.

"Cough cough cough-"

The woman's cough made her hands tremble.

Almost broke the vase.

Recalling what Mrs. Xu said when she attended a birthday banquet before, she said that her daughter-in-law seemed to be in poor health.

It seems that the one coughing is Mrs. Xu.
